(CNN) -- Folashade Abugan is the third Nigerian athlete to have failed a drugs test at the Commonwealth Games in India, where she won two silver medals, it was revealed on Friday.
Abugan, who came second in the women's 400 meters last week and the 4x400m relay on Tuesday, has been stripped of both of her medals after testing positive for the banned anabolic substance testosterone prohormone.
The 20-year-old, who was world junior champion in 2008, has waived her right to have her "B" sample tested, the Commonwealth Games Federation said a day after the four-yearly event finished in New Delhi.
"Folashade Abugan returned an adverse analytical finding from a test conducted on October 8, 2010, after competing in the women's 400 meter final," the CGF said in a statement.
The news comes as a blow to the Nigeria team, who were already reeling following the failed tests of both women's 100m champion Osayemi Oludamola and Samuel Okon, who came sixth in the men's 110m hurdles.
That duo tested positive for the banned stimulant methylhexanamine.
The CGF statement also said Abugan has admitted liability for the failed test, and she has been disqualified from all the events she participated in.
"Ms Abugan wrote to the CGF waiving her rights to have her "B" sample analyzed and a hearing, as provided for within the CGF Anti-Doping Standard (ADS). She also admitted liability.
"She has been disqualified from all events she participated in during the Games, with the results nullified. This includes her silver medal in the women's 400 meters.
"As she was also a member of her country's second placed 4x400m relay team, that result is also nullified."
The silver medal she obtained in the 400m will now go to Aliann Tabitha Pompey of Guyana, with Christine Amertil of the Bahamas being promoted into the bronze medal position.
England's quartet of Kelly Massey, Victoria Barr, Meghan Beesley and Nadine Okyere have been elevated to second position in the 4x400m relay, with Canada's Amonn Nelson, Adrienne Power, Vicki Tolton and Carline Muir now claiming bronze.

bawomolo:

kai fine girl like this. why is she ingesting illegal substances.

don't we do local drug testing before sending these people to international competition. we could have easily avoided embarrassment like this.

ifyalways:

This is not good news.
I remember reading one of[b] Chioma Ajunwas interview somewhere abt her reported drug usage and ban when she was saying it was "gworo"consumption that made her fail the dope test.[/b] .What do these ppl have to say now?
I hope the others yet to be tested wud come out clean.

Kobojunkie:

Is it possible it is in the food they are being fed?

Azibalua:

It's a sad thing . I hope there is no politics involved. Were they not tested before the contest. How come it's when someone wins that allegation of drug test comes. Thru ought to gave been screened out beforehand.

Whatever they accuse the Nigerian athletes of  taking we can do nothing about it. From moon dust to crushed seaweed, we're powerless and that is a fact. Skepticism is the only power we can have as a people right now. If Bolt was a Nigerian they'd have accused him of drugs and if it was a false accusation we would not have been able to prove otherwise. We have no power whats so ever.We should be worrying more about our powerlessness than all the, most likely stitched up athletes.
If today Oyibo begin to permit white and Asian athletes to take drugs secretively  but closely monitor black athletes what could you or i do about it?
If tomorrow white and Asian athletes  suddenly start wining everything in track and filed because they are being allowed drugs and black athletes denied what can you or I do about it?We have no power. What oyibo says goes, full stop. At the moment we blacks operate on fate that the system is fare and just but that's the extent of it.Primitive people can do extraordinary things. We have many such people in Nigeria and Africa. We could go to the remotest village and get a man or woman that runs faster than antelope. Take this person, pure as you like and place him or her on a Olympic  track, they run so fast and break world record or just win. If Oyibo lab says the person took drugs you or i would only argue but in the final analysis what the Oyibo and his labs says that is what the world will believe. these bastards will use this their unchallengeable  systems and positions f power to destroy promising up-and-coming Nigerian Athletes  before they even begin and prevent them form posing a threat to the established powers and stars of track & field,  watch and see.
